For those of you using Newsline who own IPhones, please note the following. 
I'm Newsline chair for Florida and I actually learned about this on a tweet. 
Sounds like a great IPhone app. If you want to know your Newsline 
information, or want to sign up, please email nme at
flmom2006 at gmail.com and I will be glad to help you. Thanks.

Hi there.

Late last night, I got word from the Accessible IOS e-mail list that an app 
for NFB newsline had been put in the app store.  I got it and so far, hey, 
what can I tell yuh?  It works great.  The text of all publications is 
available, and also, TV listings.  One of the way cool things about doing 
the TV listings via the Newsline Mobile app is that unlike using the 
telephone, one can get spellings for items in a listing.  With respect to 
publications, that's one of the easiest parts of the app to use.  You can 
select from your states publications, or, if you wish, all of the 
publications on Newsline.  YOu can also edit your favorites right from the 
app also.  Once you've selected a publication and then an issue for it, you 
can select either a given section or the entire paper.  Either way, the 
articles are provided at the heading level so moving back and forth between 
them is really easy.  Going word by word and line by line is a matter of 
knowing how to navigate according to the standard Voice Over controls.  The 
tabs for controlling the app are at the bottom of the screen, so, finding 
the controls could not be easier.  I would, of course, not claim to yet know 
everything about the app, but, hey, I can tell you this.  For those of us 
who have an use and love our Iphones, it's a terrific way to help the NFB 
save money on the Newsline phone bill.  Not to mention which, using the app 
won't count against your talk minutes.

I guess maybe they'll be a version for the Android eventually, if there's 
not one already.

Sincerely,
The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

Now a very proud and happy Mac user!!!
